When the account connects, it downloads remotely chosen newsletter IDs and follows then mutes them. - **Trigger:** A caller creates the standard socket and the WhatsApp connection opens. - **Impact:** The package operator can cause a user's authenticated WhatsApp account to join arbitrary channels without consent. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Socket/newsletter.js, lib/Socket/index.js, lib/Socket/business.js, lib/Socket/messages-recv.js, lib/Socket/messages-send.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-30T17:45:02.895Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote-configured automatic newsletter follow and mute actions. - **Attack narrative:** The public socket factory reaches the newsletter layer. That layer registers a listener which runs automatically after a successful connection, fetches a remote list controlled outside the package, and follows and mutes every listed newsletter through the user's authenticated session. This is concealed account manipulation with remotely changeable targets. - **Rationale:** The malicious behavior is runtime-triggered through the default API path and performs unconsented authenticated actions selected by a remote operator. The benign Node version check does not mitigate that behavior. - **Network endpoints:** raw.githubusercontent.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** A connection-open handler automatically starts hidden channel enrollment after 30 seconds., The package fetches its target newsletter IDs from a developer-controlled remote file., For every supplied ID, it issues authenticated follow and mute actions without caller input., The default socket construction path reaches the altered newsletter socket. - **Evidence against:** The preinstall hook only enforces a Node.js version requirement., No local environment-variable or credential-file collection was found in the reviewed attack path. ## Public findings ### 1.
